#woolwich — Public Fediverse posts

I know this is propaganda curated from only the good news to make the Region of Waterloo look its very best but I gotta say, the 2025 RoW Yearbook really does instill a sense of civic pride & a feeling of momentum.

Not featured: the tireless work of activists & community organizers to shape these policies to be inclusive & accessible thru dissent & critique.

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, a nice mix of an urban core (the cities of #Kitchener, #Waterloo, and #Cambridge), surrounded by four rural townships, #Woolwich, #Wellesley, #Wilmot, and #NorthDumfries.

Some of the best cycle paths (the #TransCanadaTrail f'rinstance) pass right by, or through, farmland.

TRAVERSING CULTURAL LANDSCAPES THROUGH THE LIBRARIES

If you’re looking for an affordable way to explore in Waterloo Region this winter, look no farther than your local library. With diverse community programs at a variety of branch locations, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and meet new people. Each of the listed events below are free to attend, open to anyone and require advance registration.  

The Region of Waterloo Library serves the residents of Wellesley, Woolwich, North Dumfries, and Wilmot with 12 branches. Below are five cultural events to add to your calendar.  

Celebrate Black History Month with three short films centering Black stories and history from the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), followed by a community discussion on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Register for the Ayr Branch event online. Afterwards, learn about Waterloo Region’s connection to the Underground Railroad by reading about Buxton, Ontario.  

Did you know that chess, formerly known as chaturanga, originated in India during the Gupta Empire in 600 CE? The strategic game’s playing pieces resembled components of the military and the game traversed the world through trading routes. Join a game every Tuesday and Saturday at the New Hamburg Branch and every Wednesday at the Baden Branch from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  

Hygge—pronounced “hoo-gah”—is perhaps one of Denmark’s most identifiable cultural exports. It is the notion of coziness and encompasses everything from the glow of a candle to spending time with good people. Head to the Breslau Branch on Tuesday, Feb. 10 for a night of Winter Hygge from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for ages 9 and up. Enjoy hot beverages, crafts and puzzles and good company.  

Embracing winter weather is a feat for some and a joy for others. Cambridge resident and globally published freelance journalist Paul Gains will share his love of the Arctic’s snowy owls during a presentation at the Ayr Branch on Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.   

Escape the cold and slip into a sunny state of mind without hopping on a plane. Chef Arielle is teaching a Roti and Trini Curry Masterclass at the Wilmot Recreation Complex on Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for ages nine and up.   

The Cambridge Public Library (CPL), Waterloo Public Library (WPL) and Kitchener Public Library (KPL) offer a wide range of tools to rent out, some of which will help support your Waterloo Region (and beyond!) explorations. Visit their websites or branches in-person to borrow skates, snowshoes, trekking poles, wildlife kits, museum passes, or Grand River and Ontario Parks passes.  

Learning a language is a phenomenal way to travel deeper. Start at home with free language classes, French reading buddies, or language circles in French, Chinese, Spanish and English at CPL, WPL and KPL branches.   

Finally, if you’re looking for an activity that’s engaging for the whole family, the WPL is hosting The Great Family Geocache Challenge. Geocaching is an adventurous hobby where participants search for hidden objects based on other participants’ clues. It’s an excellent way to get outside, exercise your brain, and enjoy a new and free activity at home or elsewhere around the world.  

Happy exploring!

There are some very tall ducks that live on the common at the end of the street.

I need to take some photos of them. They are majestic.

#Transport for #London Have Your Say:
Thamesmead bus lane, walking and cycling proposals. #TfL is consulting on changes to roads between #Woolwich and Abbey Wood via #Thamesmead to improve bus journeys, cycling routes and pedestrian safety. Plans include new 24/7 bus lanes, upgraded bus stops, segregated cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, and junction alterations at Plumstead Road, Western Way, Central Way and Carlyle Road. Speed limits would be reduced and roundabouts downsized to enhance safety. The proposals aim to support new SL11 bus services, encourage active travel, and complement future DLR and cycle network expansions. Consultation closes 15 January 2026.

Does anyone know the details of why the lifts (elevators) at the #Woolwich and #Greenwich foot tunnels under the #Thames are so often out of order? I mean I guess the broad reason is lack of money for maintenance but is there a specific reason, is it something that can be fixed, or is this just a case of crumbling Victorian infra that will never work well?

#LondonUK #transport #urbanism

Nick insisted that the route under #Woolwich Ferry Road was "a right of way, part of the #ThamesPath, #CapitalRing and that he was damn well going to #walk it!"
Wonder how he's doing… 😉

When the tunnel starts to wheeze, it's just London clay by the tonne. When the lights start to bleed… it's time to run!
